Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including historical, commemorative, and bullion coins. In the context of the United States, such coins may include pieces minted for specific events, anniversaries, or to highlight notable figures. The term "shilling" generally refers to a historical silver coin that was used in various countries, including the UK, but not in the U.S. currency system. The U.S. has its own denominations and designs, often featuring significant national symbols and leaders. Collectors seek these coins for their historical significance, artistry, and potential investment value.
